As you can see from this picture the seafront has worked hard this year which is evident in the rather worn looking state of the gardens. Not only did our famously attractive seafront gardens have to cope with the influx for the Regatta but it had Bleriot as well. The canopys, rides, events, etc on the lawns have taken their toll.
But its good to see it used as an asset as well as just an attractive feature for residents and visitors.
You can still see the old swimming pool in the foreground fighting to get through. It was filled in and grassed over just a few short years ago now, maybe five or so, but year after year it clammers to be reborn and leaves its calling card on the grass above its tomb. Its shape lives on.
The picture above was taken on a sleepy early september morn, with the last few caravan stragglers waiting to board...soon summer will be over.
